The Questar III BOCES New Visions: Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) students hosted An Evening of the Arts on May 23, 2024, at The Arts Center of the Capital Region, which hosts their classroom. Throughout the year, students have been learning and exploring various arts through this senior, honors-level program. This cumulative event was an opportunity to celebrate their creative work throughout the school year.
Families, friends, Questar III BOCES staff, and other supporters enjoyed an Art Show featuring over 50 pieces from a wide variety of art forms, a CD release party featuring original music written, performed, and produced by students, a class play written and directed by students Emma O’Kane, Satya Groff, and Genesis Cooper called The Show Is Tonight, live musical performances of original pieces, and a Film Premiere featuring original short films created by students.
Congratulations to our students on a successful event and school year!
